Yeah. Skipped me a chunk so far! Who needs to learn the troubleshooting of a task bar

Damn true

I'm going to spend a bit of time with the Outlook and Office bits, even though I recall someone stating that they only had '1' question on Office. Bit odd. Some of the sample questions on the cd are fun, daily task things and have been the closest to 'daily stuff' I've seen so far. Booked for Friday.

Oh eck, fingers crossed for the both of us.

I'm not sure what time as the crazy Australian receptionist hasn't booked yet. With luck I might actually be able to get a print out of the results tomorrow.

Just setup Outlook with a proper account and next is Newsgroups.

I find it odd that even though I've used XP for years, it's so easy to ignore lots of settings and things that could come in useful one day. Maybe. Also, I took the 70-620 for granted after using XP for such a long time.

That reminds me, the log of the 70-271 hasn't shown up yet?
edit:
A ha! You get nothing, not even a pack of crisps for the 271. Must get the 272 to get a nice new logo and cert.

Yeah no MCDST for having only the 271. Tell you what is lame. Having the 270 and the 71 and not being able to call your self a support tech. lol!

Hopes are low on passing tomorrow. Looks like I will have to use the second shot. Havent really got the energy for studying at the moment, work has been a royal pain and all I want to do after the gym is sleep.

Just want to start the 290 asap! is what I want. Seeing as I work with DNS at my job I think the 291 should be a walk in the park (Hoping) then I can have my MCSA!

Argh the things you have to do to get letters after your name!

excalibur1814

I just want a cert for each exam Heck, the 070-626 didn't even have notifications or anything.

Hey, if you passed the 721 & 720 then, after flicking through the book, I have a feeling that you and I will do just fine. (If we DO fail it'll probably be because we can't remember specifics. For me it will be WHERE the options are within Office. I can find them pretty much every single time.. on the second click

I do feel that there should have only been two exams for XP, the 270 and 271/72 combined as they cover topics that little bit too close. Like the 620 and 623, a Consumer support person might as well take the 620 and ignore the 623.

Anyhow... here's to tomorrow and whatever it brings. As long as we pass, we'll then face harder exams lol

Good Luck!

knownhero

about to head off for it now. Good luck to you also!

excalibur1814

Yep, they put me on the Pc with the strange fan again, plus I never got a score print at the end. Yay.

816, passed, now an MCDST. Woohoo! Plus I've already done the 620 and 622.

Next 291!

I'm crossing my fingers for you.... hope you do well and I must admit that the 272 was harder than the 271, or at least I thought so. (Although I got, pretty much, the same score on both)

There were a few Office questions, not just one.

damn! Nice one congrats! I failed 648! Had way to many outlook questions. Where it asked about settings!

excalibur1814

Noooooooo!!!!!!

Sorry to hear the above. So flipping close it's scary.

Next time... Plus you did say that you didn't have time to revise etc so heck, not enough hours in the darn day

knownhero

Yeah study was a complete 0 the book took a life time to come down. So I was pretty much going off my general knownledge! Not so bad with the score I was so close I could taste victory!

Rebooked for 17th April only next exam time! Sucks its so late
